Session object

[papaya_milk]

I'm having this problem of passing session object. When i move from one hyperlink to another, my session object becomes empty.
say:
in page1.aspx
Session("isValid") = True

and when i clicked on the hyperlink
<a href=page2.aspx></a>

it still goes to page2 but I can't get the value of Session("isValid"), when i try to trace it, it is empty.

I've tried using response.redirect, but still the same prob.

so, how can i pass session around the pages?

In your web.config file, there should be a tag with an attribute that lets you turn on/off session state management. Make sure this switch isn't set to false.

I've check, It is on....
I'm totally confused....

Try to use relative path e.g. ./ and ../

I started with the login page where user enter password and id, this is how i set the session object if the user exist.

Dim objComm As New SqlCommand(strSQL, objConn) ' Reserve space in memory 'for the SqlCommand object
Dim objReader As SqlDataReader
Try
objConn.Open()
objReader = objComm.ExecuteReader()
If objReader.Read() = False Then
Session("Invalid") = "True"
Return False

Else
Session("Invalid") = ""
Session("LoggedIn") = "True"
Session("UserID") = objReader.Item("UserID").ToString
Session("Category") = objReader.Item("Mem_Category").ToString
Return True
End If
Finally
End Try
objReader.Close()
objConn.Close()

Then, i transfer the user to different page according to their member category by using server.transfer.

server.transfer("Member.aspx")

in Member.aspx page, I still manage to retrieve all info in the Session object, including session("userID").

but when i clicked on a hyperlink that link to another page, it show error that object reference not set to an instance of object in this line of code

" dim str
str= session("UserID")"

btw, the hyperlink is inside a user control, does it matter?
